drained

Tired is a good way to describe how I'm feeling today. Drained.

Still occupying those raw spaces from yesterday - thinking they're not going away for a while. Thinking I'm actually mostly okay with that, though just at the moment they feel a little overwhelming.

Spent time with people today.

Tea/Coffee with a friend this morning. So good. To talk openly about my trip, not the sanitized results driven version that I'll share with most. Sharing God stories. The promise of more time together, of time to pray for and with each other.

Then mom picked me up. We had a good conversation.

Went to a baby shower for a young friend of mine who gave birth three weeks ago while I was in Malta. It was so good to see this tiny little girl she brought into the world. A gift of new life.

Funny how drained I feel. A combination of the raw spaces and jet-lag I think.

Praying for deep sleep tonight. Restful sleep.

Needing it badly.
